Máel Coluim mac Cináeda (Modern Gaelic: Maol Chaluim mac Choinnich, known in modern anglicized regnal lists as Malcolm II; died November 25, 1034), is King of the Scots from 1005 until his death.

He is a son of Cináed mac Maíl Coluim; the Prophecy of Berchán says that his mother was a woman of Leinster and refers to him as Máel Coluim Forranach, "the destroyer".

To the Irish annals that recorded his death, Máel Coluim was ard rí Alban, High King of Scotland.

In the same way that Brian Bóruma, High King of Ireland, is not the only king in Ireland, Máel Coluim is one of several kings within the geographical boundaries of modern Scotland: his fellow kings included the king of Strathclyde, who rules much of the southwest, various Norse-Gael kings of the western coasts and the Hebrides and, nearest and most dangerous rivals, the Kings or Mormaers of Moray.

To the south, in the Kingdom of England, the Earls of Bernicia and Northumbria, whose predecessors as kings of Northumbria had once ruled most of southern Scotland, still control large parts of the southeast.
